“We Trust Our Future”

The United Socialist States of Sornesia is a huge, devout nation, remarkable for its compulsory military service. Its compassionate population of 422 million are prohibited from doing almost everything except voting, which they do timidly and conservatively.

The enormous government juggles the competing demands of Defence, Religion & Spirituality, and Law & Order. The average income tax rate is 34%, but much higher for the wealthy. A powerhouse of a private sector is led by the Automobile Manufacturing industry, followed by Soda Sales and Cheese Exports.

Graffiti graces every city's streets, prime real estate is devoted to wind farms and solar energy generators, the nation has opened its arms to an influx of refugees, and private business has started paving paradises and putting up parking lots. Crime is relatively low, thanks to the all-pervasive police force and progressive social policies in education and welfare. Sornesia's national animal is the eagle, which frolics freely in the nation's many lush forests, and its currency is the ann.

Sornesia is ranked 17th in the region and 18,181st in the world for Largest Arms Manufacturing Sector.
